I believe the answer is:

octagon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'regular form' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'swindle catching mark' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'over' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for octagon that I've seen before include "Eight-sided shape" , "Geometric figure with eight sides" , "Eight-sided object" , "Shape of a square with the corners cut off" , "Figure with 8 sides" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
